Exhibit 99.3

REVISED* PRESS RELEASE

REDDY ICE REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER 2003 RESULTS

(*revised on March 22, 2004 – See the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet Data below)

FEBRUARY 25, 2004 - DALLAS, TEXAS - Reddy Ice Holdings, Inc., today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2003.

Reddy Ice Holdings, Inc. was established on May 8, 2003. On August 15, 2003, Reddy Ice Holdings acquired Packaged Ice, Inc., which was renamed Reddy Ice Group, Inc. The discussion of results of operations for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2003 versus the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2002 is based on the combined results of Reddy Ice Holdings for the period May 8, 2003 to December 31, 2003 and Packaged Ice for the period from January 1, 2003 through August 14, 2003. Reddy Ice Holdings and Reddy Ice Group are collectively referred to as “Successor.” Packaged Ice prior to the merger on August 15, 2003 is referred to as “Predecessor.” Reddy Ice Holdings conducted no operations during the period from May 8, 2003 through August 14, 2003. Reddy Ice Holdings acquired the Service Ice division of L.D. Plante, Inc. and Triangle Ice Co., Inc. on October 1, 2003 and November 6, 2003, respectively. The results of the acquired operations are included in Reddy Ice Holdings’ consolidated results from the acquisition dates through December 31, 2003.

Revenues in the fourth quarter of 2003 were $48.3 million, compared to $43.0 million in the same quarter of 2002. Net loss before preferred dividends was $5.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2003, compared to a net loss before preferred dividends of $18.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2002. The results for the fourth quarter of 2002 included a loss on disposition of assets of $2.4 million, an impairment of assets of $7.4 million and a gain on extinguishment of debt of $1.0 million.

Revenues in fiscal 2003 were $238.2 million, compared to $235.7 million in 2002. Net income before preferred dividends was $7.3 million in 2003, compared to a net loss before preferred dividends of $84.8 million in 2002. Effective January 1, 2002, Packaged Ice adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” The adoption of this accounting standard resulted in an initial impairment charge of $73.2 million in the first quarter of 2002.

EBITDA as adjusted (defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, gain or loss on the disposition of assets, impairment of assets, gain or loss on extinguishment of debt and the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principle, and referred to as EBITDA) was $7.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2003, compared to $4.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2002. EBITDA for fiscal 2003 was $61.9 million, compared to $57.2 million in 2002. By presenting EBITDA, Reddy Ice intends to provide investors a better understanding of the core operating results and underlying trends to measure past performance as well as prospects for the future. Reddy Ice evaluates operating performance based on several measures, including EBITDA, as the Company believes it is

an important measure of the operational strength of its business. Since EBITDA is not a measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, net income as an indicator of operating performance and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. EBITDA is not necessarily a measure of Reddy Ice’s ability to fund its cash needs. As it excludes certain financial information compared with net income or loss, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, users of this financial information should consider the types of events and transactions, which are excluded. A reconciliation of EBITDA to net income or loss can be found at the end of this press release.

“We are pleased to report another quarter of solid performance,” commented Chairman and Chief Executive Officer William P. Brick. “The integration of the Triangle Ice and Service Ice acquisitions has met our expectations and we look forward to further improvements in our results during 2004.”

OUTLOOK

The following statements are based on current expectations. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially. These statements do not include the potential impact of any mergers, acquisitions or other business combinations, or divestitures that may be completed after February 25, 2004. Pro forma amounts reflect the results of Reddy Ice Holdings as if the acquisitions of Packaged Ice, Service Ice and Triangle Ice had occurred on the first day of the relevant period.

Management expects revenues for 2004 to range between $270 and $280 million, and EBITDA in the range of $75 to $80 million. This compares to pro forma 2003 revenue and EBITDA of $267.3 million and $73.8 million, respectively. Management further expects to report net income before preferred dividends in 2004 ranging from $15.8 million to $18.9 million. Management expects revenues in the first quarter of 2004 to range between $34 million and $39 million, with EBITDA in the range of negative $1.0 million to positive $2.0 million. This compares to pro forma revenue and EBITDA in the first quarter of 2003 of $36.1 million and negative $0.5 million, respectively. The net loss before preferred dividends in the first quarter of 2004 is expected to be in the range of $13.3 million to $10.3 million. The outlook for the first quarter and full year does not include gains or losses from the disposition of assets, asset impairment charges, or gains or losses on the extinguishment of debt.

**This press release was originally issued on February 25, 2004 (the “Original Release”). After the Original Release was issued and during the independent accountant’s audit of the Company’s financial information for 2003, it was determined that a reclassification of certain amounts needed to be made in the financial information. The reclassification resulted in a change to the line items “Total assets” and “Total liabilities and shareholders’ equity” in the above table. Therefore, this press release was revised in order to describe the change in the applicable line items which were due to this reclassification.
